You were clutching a book and your red scarf slipped as you got off at Canal Street. I picked it up but couldn't catch you in the crowd. If you read this, I still have your scarf—and would love to return it over coffee.

You played guitar and sang "Stand By Me" as the F train rattled downtown. I dropped a dollar and mouthed "beautiful voice" just before I rushed off at Delancey—let's make music together next time?

You sat across from me, nose buried in a Murakami novel, blue scarf draped perfectly. Our glances kept meeting every time the train screeched. I should have said something before you disappeared at Lexington.

You were playing "Yesterday" on your guitar while the train rattled over the Manhattan Bridge. I was the one in the yellow raincoat tapping along. Wish I'd told you the song made my morning.

You were sketching the facade of the museum while I passed by on my lunch break. We traded a smile and that’s all. Hope your drawing turned out as beautiful as you.

We discussed Murakami in the fiction aisle, then you vanished between the shelves. I didn’t catch your name—just that you had green glasses and a contagious laugh.

We reached for the same last slice at Joe’s Pizza around 2am and ended up laughing about our mutual craving. You disappeared into the night before I could invite you to split it.

You dropped your blue scarf near the midpoint and I returned it. You thanked me with a shy grin, and I was too tongue-tied to ask your name. Still thinking about you.
